I've noticed on some of the early censuses that when giving the address you will see something like "Ward 5" or "Ward 7". Is that something like Districts?

Hi, welcome to G&FH.SE! We already have another question about using Ward information shown in census records, so I've marked your question as a duplicate. I hope the answers there will be helpful. Do investigate the individual wards in the city you're studying -- you can find out all sorts of interesting things that way. – Jan Murphy Nov 19 '16 at 02:37
